Generations of Trans Women in Tech
summary
Claims that tech’s structure produces measurable survival paths: bootcamps over college as a route in, industry tooling like Django Rails bundler Ruby gems and npm as practical ladders, and remote work enables stealth so gender presentation no longer blocks employment. Describes a community-built safety net—mentors, orgs like transgender Law Center, local groups, even employer links (New Relic, Twitter)—forming mentoring economies and an acknowledged sex work as survival economy that older generations shoulder so newer ones can be safer.
